Hi Shaun, Have you ever had a look at Aldous Huxley and his "Doors of Perception" ? see url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doors_of_PerceptionLife story...he died from an overdose of LSD and laryngal cancer on the day of Kennedy's assassination.
see url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_HuxleyHe was the first person to put on a television programme organised by the BBC on the use and effects of illegal drugs. Not a lot of people have managed to do that since. They had laws against it in them days too, still, anyfink goes in the name of science:-) ...and I am still trying to work out how he managed it...and got away with it...perhaps it was the respect for his father as one of the worlds leading scientists of his time...:-) . Perhaps he hoodwinked all the judges, law enforcers and politicians and board of guvnors at the same time...or they were all on LSD. It took me, as a naive young Scot, a long time to realise that LSD was not only a unit of currency, prevalent at the time.
Even better than that....did you ever watch "The Manchurian Candidate" a fictional film based on experiments carried out by some leading western democracy or other, it might have been the Soviet Union...on whether a human being could be psychologically programmed with a sub-conscious remit to commit an assassination on some leading person and then forget all about it afterwards? It was in the era when the science of "brainwashing" of US prisoners of war in North Korea came to the fore, and some bright spark thought that one could use Milton Erickson techniques mixed up with a few illicit drugs to make the assassin more suggestible, and then a post hypnotic suggestion to make him forget he had done it. Spent quite a few bob on it I understand, and it came up with a lot of unintended consequences...c'est la vie...:-)
There is a rumour that Frank Sinatra had the film pulled after the assassination of President John Kennedy...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltraActually, used properly hypnosis can be of great help to patients who have suffered some kind of mental and physical trauma. Many patients, particularly those who suffer from shock or loss of blood, find that their recall of past immediate events cannot be reclaimed due to loss of memory. Depending on the state and depth of shock it is sometimes possible to recover that memory, and many patients over a period of time recover full recall.
Erickson did a lot of experimental work using hypnotic techniques, he was a past master at it. He called his experiments, "pantomimes"...funny eh...:-) . Because he was colour blind, and could only see purple, he did a lot of experiments on colour perceptions. He also used time distortion, and amnesia and self production techniques of pain killing hormones, to help people who were suffering a lot of pain from terminal cancer. It was the mastery of such skills that apparently got the CIA interested....

Paste was thrilled to host two blues legends this week when Taj Mahal and Keb Mo brought their new collaborative project to our Midtown Manhattan studio for an intimate performance and a masterclass on the life of blues music.
The duo have a new album, the aptly titled Tajmo, out now, and it showcases everything that has made each of them a torchbearer for American music over the past few decades. Taj Mahal has been representing and redefining blues music since 1968, when he released his first album, Taj Mahal, an eclectic mix of traditional songs and modern revamps. With its authentic renditions of songs originally recorded by masters like Sleepy John Estes, Blind Willie McTell and Elmore James, Taj Mahal provided a vital bridge from the delta blues of the 1930s to the blues-indebted rock of psychedelic '60s, helping the music stretch its legs into the 1970s and become part of the permanent fabric of rock.
Twenty-five years later, Keb Mo emerged with the blues resurgence of the early '90s, reaching back to Robert Johnson and the deepest roots of the music just as another generation was coming around to the origin story of American songwriting. If their music is steeped in tradition, though, their personal touches are anything but derivative. Both men have spent many years and many albums infusing the blues format with sounds and styles taken from the far corners of the music world, from reggae to folk to calypso to rock 'n' roll, each with an immediately recognizable voice and guitar-picking style.
Incredibly, Tajmo marks the first recorded collaboration between Keb Mo and Taj Mahal, and Paste is honored to present it to our readers and listeners around the world. Asked how they had managed to avoid an alliance to this point, Taj noted that both of them are, well, busy.
"I've had a long and very active career in live performance, which a lot of people didn't do—they made records and waited for the cash to roll, and they hated to go on tour," Taj said. "What music is about is playing for people, and the original impetus for the African parent of this music is that the audience and the musicians are all a part of the performance. When the record business got involved in it, it separated everybody from the real experience of the music. And we're the kind of guys that were busy doing that live playing, so we didn't really have the opportunity to get together."
Added Keb, who at 65 is a decade younger than Taj, "During the record process, we really came together. We were kind of out circling around before. When we started making the record, we found that we had way more in common than we thought."
The duo performed three tracks from the new album which, taken together, span the history of the blues: "Diving Duck Blues," a traditional made famous by Sleepy John Estes; "Life Is Beautiful," a new composition; and the reggae-infused "Corrina," from Taj Mahal's second record, 1968's The Natch'l Blues.
Taj introduced "Diving Duck Blues" with some history linking the first wave of Southern blues masters to the rock era he came up in and beyond. "John Estes was a favorite older bluesman from outside Brownsville, Tennessee, and his music didn't get translated into the electric realm until 1967 when I did my first album and I took three of his songs and I transferred them into the electric realm," he said. "But still, the original way of playing his music is just as powerful as the electric way. One of the things we did with this album to get everybody's ears correct, is we played an acoustic version of the 'Diving Duck Blues.'"
As they moved into their second song, "Life Is Beautiful," Taj and Keb mused on the evolution of blues music over a century of interpretation, and whether the genre demands a certain aesthetic.
"When you look at traditional blues and where it came from—when you get down to the really raw, gut-bucket thing that made everybody like it, I think there is a… thing, like with any form of music there's certain things that identify the genre," said Keb. "But there's always flexibility in what you can do with it. You can go far outside of it, and you can stay as far in as you want to do. At the end of the day, it's just art. It's all just art. It's noise—it's pretty noise."
For Taj, much of the resonance of blues goes back to prototypical songs that were rarely even heard, when business interests, rather than any culture or community, decided which music saw the light of day. Much of the foundation of blues, he pointed out, was built on these undiscovered songs. "There's a tremendous amount of music that didn't get placed into that little spotlight that said, 'This is commercial, and we're going to hear more of that,'" he said. "And because of that, there is a reservoir of music back there that is so important to culture but didn't get translated. This music has incredible resonance back then, and it has incredible validity in every time and era that you will be on this planet from this point forward."
Check out the full session above, and go out on a high with this performance of Taj Mahal's classic "Corrina."

By Denny Thomas and Elzio Barreto
HONG KONG, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Chinese companies are flocking
to the U.S. IPO market in their biggest numbers since 2010,
drawn by soaring valuations for tech start-ups and undeterred by
a flare-up in an accounting row between Washington and Beijing.
Some 30 Chinese companies could list in the United States
this year, according to investment bankers interviewed by
Reuters. That includes JD.com Inc, China's second-biggest
e-commerce firm after Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. It said last
month it is seeking to raise $1.5 billion, in what may be the
second-biggest U.S. IPO by a Chinese company.
The return to U.S. shores comes on the back of renewed
investor enthusiasm for China plays, particularly for Internet
stocks. The country's online retail market by transaction volume
jumped 42 percent last year to 1.85 trillion yuan ($305 billion)
and is expected to almost double in size by 2016, according to
figures from iResearch.
That has trumped lingering concerns about accounting
irregularities and corporate governance issues that have forced
many U.S.-listed Chinese firms to be delisted since 2011.
The delistings have prompted investors to be more discerning
about China IPO candidates this time around. The bar for Chinese
companies seeking U.S. deals is higher, improving the quality of
recent offerings, bankers say.
But not everyone is so certain about that.
John Hempton, chief investment officer of Sydney-based
Bronte Capital, said a lack of penalties for Chinese firms' past
misdeeds in the 2011 scandals meant the potential to find
accounting fraud was always there.
"We welcome the new bull market," said Hempton, best known
for having taken short positions on several U.S.-listed Chinese
companies in the past. "We hope that they issue hundreds of new
shares because they will provide our future happy hunting
And bull market it is. While only eight Chinese companies
listed in the United States last year, raising a combined $1.1
billion, the returns have been spectacular.
Semiconductor solution provider Montage Technology Group Ltd
and 58.com Ltd, billed as China's Craigslist,
have jumped at least 70 percent since their debuts. Online
sports-lottery operator 500.com has nearly tripled in
value since listing in late November.
Newly U.S.-listed Chinese firms rocketed an average 53
percent on their debuts last year, according to consulting firm
EY. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index rallied
28 percent over the past year.
"The last companies that went public, proved to the street
that there's a lot of growth still here," said David Chao,
co-founder at venture capital firm DCM, which is based in
Silicon Valley and has invested in several U.S.-listed Chinese
The 2011 scandals sparked much tension between regulators of
both countries regarding the oversight of auditors and access to
company information that has continued ever since.
Indeed, JD.com's announcement came less than two weeks after
a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) judge
recommended banning Chinese units of the Big Four accounting
firms from auditing U.S.-listed companies.
But the two sides could be close to a deal that would allow
Washington to inspect the audit work of accounting firms in
China, a U.S. audit watchdog said last week, which could go a
long away to alleviating strains.
Paul Botlz, partner at law firm Ropes & Gray said Chinese
companies should not be put off by the apparent escalation of
the standoff due to the SEC move.
"I think this is a bit of a blip. I would advise companies:
don't be too spooked, if you want to go to U.S. markets don't
let this stop you, just check with the auditors on what's their
back-up plan," he said.
For Chinese companies, the U.S. market affords them options
not available in Hong Kong, such as dual-class structures and
the ability to list without having turned a profit. It also
offers far more liquidity than the newly reopened mainland China
IPO market.
This year, in addition to JD.com and a $300 million offering
from a security software unit of Kingsoft Corp Ltd,
IPO candidates include real estate website Anjuke.com, gaming
company Chukong Technologies and online cosmetics company
Jumei.com, bankers said.
Anjuke did not reply to an e-mail seeking comment.
Representatives for Chukong were not available for comment and
Jumei.com could not be reached for a comment.
Companies that are likely to benefit from the boom in China
consumer spending will be in greater demand than software makers
facing potential piracy or companies in the heavily-regulated
financial services sector, Chao at DCM said.

The Ottawa-based company was responding to allegations levelled by Citron Research, which accused Shopify in a report Wednesday of being "the promoter of the hottest new 'get rich quick' scheme on the internet"
Shopify 'vigorously' defends business model after short-seller's 'get rich quick' allegation
Shopify Inc. fired back Thursday after being accused by a U.S.-based short-seller of promoting a "get rich quick" scheme.
"We vigorously defend our business model and stand resolutely behind our mission and the success of our merchants," said Shopify in a statement.
The Ottawa-based e-commerce company was responding to allegations levelled in a report and video released Wednesday by Citron Research, after which Shopify's stock had dropped 11.5 per cent on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The stock closed down 2.14 per cent Thursday, at $126.19.
Shopify's statement put forward several numbers outlining how it is "helping businesses start, succeed and scale." The company said that "every 90 seconds a store using Shopify makes their first sale," that over 131 million consumers have made a purchase at a store using Shopify over the past year, and that stores using Shopify churned out US$10.7 billion in gross merchandise volume in the first six months of 2017.
"Shopify has always strived to take the path that leads to more entrepreneurs by designing its platform to remove the technical, operational, and financial barriers to enable anyone, anywhere, to build, grow, and scale a business," the company added.
Citron's allegations came amid a steady surge in the price of Shopify's shares, which had risen more than 284 per cent since their 2015 debut. The stock had been up more than 133 per cent this year alone before, outstripping the S&P/TSX Composite Index by a wide margin.
But Citron and managing editor Andrew Left had highlighted YouTube videos referencing the "Shopify millionaire" and touting the company's websites.
"They're not selling them to business owners, they're selling them to people as opportunities to get rich quick," said Left in the video. Both he and the report likened Shopify to Herbalife Ltd., which agreed in 2016 to restructure its business and pay $200 million to settle allegations made against it by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
According to a FTC press release dated July 2016, the agency had accused Herbalife of having "deceived consumers into believing they could earn substantial money selling diet, nutritional supplement, and personal care products." The settlement with the FTC prohibited Herbalife from claiming that its members could "'quit their job' or otherwise enjoy a lavish lifestyle."
Citron noted Shopify had posted on its Facebook page that "2,700 people become millionaires each day," and said there were 92 mentions of the word "millionaire" on Shopify's website.
Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets, told BNN Wednesday that he had been asked about a month ago why he didn't own Shopify, and said it was because "I don't understand the company."
"We like to buy companies that we understand," Belski added. "I believe that we're heading into a period of investing that you want to own transparent assets. I just don't know how they make money. I don't understand the model."
Shopify offers online stores, point-of-sale systems, and support services to merchants.
National Bank Financial analyst Richard Tse wrote in a report Wednesday that the risk to Shopify's financials was with "transient subscribers who do not represent a meaningful portion of value for Shopify."
"In our view, we can't unequivocally rule out that this negative report will not surface some regulatory scrutiny even if we think it's remote," wrote Tse. "In the short-term, there's little doubt it will weigh on the stock despite what we believe to be an unchanged fundamental outlook."
Tse also said that the situation could "open a window" for investors who may have missed out on the steady rise of Shopify shares.
Shopify said in its statement that it is "committed" to fighting against the decline of entrepreneurship.
"Shopify's growing community of entrepreneurs includes makers, creators and innovators, from students trying to pay for school to merchants who have successfully scaled their businesses," the statement said.
Meanwhile, at least one law firm, California-based Girard Gibbs LLP, has said they are investigating the claims.

Napoleonville — A Pierre Part man released from jail on Wednesday was arrested Friday in an investigation of multiple vehicle burglaries and other crimes, Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack said.
Rhett Cavalier, 40, 639 Shell Beach Road, was booked Friday on three counts of simple burglary, one count of criminal damage to property valued at more than $1,000 and violation of a protective order, Waguespack said.
Sheriff's detectives received several burglary and criminal damage to property complaints in Pierre Part on Thursday, Waguespack said.
One La. 70 resident, Waguespack said, reported the theft of a GPS receiver and a radar detector, while a Simone Street resident told deputies that a radar detector and sunglasses were stolen from his vehicle.
The Simone Street resident also said he found the hood of his truck open and "it appeared his carburetor and gas tank were filled with water," Waguespack said.
The victim suspected Cavalier because Cavalier had just gotten out of jail the day before and the victim's sister had a protective order against Cavalier, the sheriff said.
The burglary victim lives with his sister and Cavalier had been ordered by the court to stay away from that residence, Waguespack said.
Another victim at the Simone Street residence said prescription drugs were stolen from his vehicle, he said.
Investigators received information that a man fitting Cavalier's description had attempted to sell some of the stolen items to a customer at a convenience store, Waguespack said. Cavalier was arrested after a search of his home tuned up the missing sunglasses and medicine, he said.
Cavalier remained in the Assumption Parish Detention Center Friday awaiting bail to be set, Waguespack said.
Cavalier had been released from custody on Wednesday after serving a 30-day jail term imposed after he pleaded guilty June 29 to charges of simple criminal trespassing, disturbing the peace, simple criminal damage to property under $500, three counts of simple assault, simple battery and three counts of resisting arrest in connection with a March 27 arrest, Waguespack said.
Cavalier was ordered to stay away from the victim of his assault, Waguespack said.
Cavalier was released from his 30-day jail sentence early because he was given credit for time served before he pleaded guilty, Waguespack said.

There was plenty of concern about New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes' health after he departed with an injury from Game 4 of the NLCS, but he assures that he'll be ready when the World Series opens on Tuesday.
Cespedes, who left Game 4 in the second inning with discomfort in his left shoulder, is confident he'll be able to play in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday despite his injury.
More from FoxSports
The 30-year-old outfielder received a cortisone shot in his shoulder on Thursday to try to decrease the inflammation in the area.
"Compared to the first day, I feel a lot better," Cespedes said Saturday through an interpreter. "I thought I could probably do a little bit more today, but I didn't want to push myself. I wanted to give myself another day before I started doing stuff again."
Cespedes could be joined by veteran infielder Juan Uribe on the Mets' World Series roster. Uribe didn't make the Mets' NLDS and NLCS rosters due to a chest contusion he sustained in September while diving for a groundball at second base.
The 36-year-old's status for the World Series remains up in the air, but he will accompany the team to Kansas City regardless of whether or not he is available to play.
Uribe has won two World Series championships in his 15-year career and is heralded for his veteran leadership in the clubhouse.

With the calendar officially turning to September Tuesday, the month not only marks the beginning of the college football season across the nation, it marks a key date for coaches in recruiting. Sept. 1 marked the date coaches had to wait for before they could reach out to potential prospects via Twitter or Facebook.
One coach took immediate advantage of that opportunity:
According to Whole Hog Sports, as many as 15 prospects heard from Arkansas soon after the midnight deadline imposed by the NCAA was passed. Most of the prospects reached play in the pipelines of Razorback football of Arkansas and Texas.
More from FoxSports
Will being first pay off for the Razorbacks? If Bielema's previous recruiting track record is any indication, the answer is a big yes.

First things first... establishing a stress-free wedding planning experience stems from getting clear on what it is that you want. When you decide it's time to delve deep into planning, sit down with you partner and talk about what it is that you both envision for your big day. If you really have no vision in mind, take some time to get inspired. Flick through wedding magazines, browse blogs online and visit local wedding fairs for a boost of ideas. Secondly, determine your budget. As well as deciding on overall spend, decide what proportion of the budget will be spent on what. Most couples admit that this is the biggest stress of wedding planning so get it out of the way early.
No doubt the biggest proportion of your budget will be devoted to your wedding venue so it's a good idea to start with this. You'll find that booking your venue will ensure it's easier to make other decisions as location may be a deciding factor in which vendors you book.
To ensure a stress-free wedding planning experience it's important to realise that you can't do everything yourself. And, even if you are secretly Wonder Woman, you'll usually find that people are more than willing to lend a helping hand so take it - the extra hands will definitely help in the long run. Call on bridesmaids to get hands-on with assembling favours or any DIY finishing touches. Make a girls' night of it and it definitely won't seem like a chore.
The best vendors in the business often take bookings up to three years in advance so if you have your heart set on someone, snap them up quick to avoid disappointment. When it comes to choosing your wedding photographer, I'd recommend booking X months before your wedding date.
When it comes to planning the biggest day of your life, no doubt you'll be bursting to spill all the details to anyone who will, but in doing so you risk stirring the old adage of 'Too many cooks spoil the broth'. You may find that people tend to have different opinions and advice on what's best. It's a good idea to always remember your vision for your day and stick to it. Remember, you can't please everyone all of the time so try not to get hung up on keeping everyone happy. The earlier you realise this, the more stress you'll save in the long run.
But also, be open minded. It's important to always work within your budget and means. Being realistic about what you can achieve will save heartache in the long-run. Another point here is to be open minded, especially when it comes to something like dress shopping. I'm sure you've heard from countless brides that the dress they choose wasn't what they had in mind initially, so when you attend your bridal appointments, be open to suggestions from the attendant. The same comes to other suppliers too. If say, you find that the flowers you had your heart set on are out of season, there are likely to be similar alternatives available.
This might seem odd but sometimes preparing for all eventualities, including the worst case scenarios can help reduce stress, and when it comes to planning a wedding in Ireland, tackling the issue of bad weather head on is a good place to start. For tips on how to handle cold, wet weather, check out my post here.
If you are afforded with the opportunity to choose your own holidays, consider how much time off you can take off in the run up to the wedding. Having a few days off beforehand will give you the luxury of time for all the finer details which needed smoothed out. This will definitely take the edge off and help ensure a feeling of calm wellbeing.
Wedding planning can take over your life but it's important to set aside a day a week and install a wedding free policy. Use this time to plan a date with your other half so that you don't get bogged down with wedding planning 24/7. The same applies to spending quality time with your family and bridesmaids. Everyone will thank you for it.
Finally, if you ever feel stressed, don't lose sight of the reasons why you are getting married. At the end of the day, if you get to say your "I dos" in front of your family and friends and everyone has a good day, those little hiccups along the way will be but a distant memory.

Wildlife, Disease Experts at Michigan CWD Symposium
USAgNet - 10/11/2017
Wildlife scientists and other experts from across the country gathered last week in East Lansing for the state's Chronic Wasting Disease Symposium -- an opportunity to share ideas and focus on finding solutions for containing CWD, a fatal neurological disease that first emerged in Michigan's free-ranging, white-tailed deer population in 2015.
Hosted by the Michigan departments of Natural Resources and Agriculture and Rural Development, along with the Michigan Natural Resources Commission and the Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center, the two-day workshop brought together approximately 200 individuals from a variety of backgrounds.
"There was an impressive list of experts who are internationally known for their research on chronic wasting disease," stated Dr. Kelly Straka, DNR wildlife veterinarian. "There were representatives from several universities, including Georgia, Colorado State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Midwestern and Michigan State."
In addition, the symposium welcomed speakers from state agencies representing Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and, as well as several nongovernmental and government agencies including the Quality Deer Management Association, the North American Deer Farmers Association, the United States Geological Survey and the United States Department of Agriculture.

Dating from the 12th century this is without doubt the oldest of the remaining buildings in the village housing a wealth of historical artefacts. Look inside for the old wall paintings including texts in the nave and south aisle and a Royal Coat of Arms of Charles I and the black marble font from Tournai. In the church yard there is an ancient yew almost as old as the church, and nine listed table tombs.
St Peter's Church is St Mary Bourne's oldest building. For most of the last millennium, the Church has stood as a witness to the Christian faith of countless generations of village residents. Possibly there was a simpler, wooden church here even before that, from Saxon times. The first stone church was built in Norman times, ca 1150, and was much smaller than the one we now see. But whilst it is ancient. it also points to the present reality and relevance of God. We are very grateful to those, who in living memory have cared for the church, and enabled it to serve the community simply by being here.
Amongst one of recent church projects are the many varied kneelers illustrating the range of Clubs, Societies and interests in the village of the 1990s. The beautifully embroidered banner was dedicated in 2000, as was the millennial stone near the font.
Heard but not seen, the Church bells ring out along the valley and over the hills after refurbishment in 1997. All the bell supports were replaced and the bells re-hung by Whites of Appleton who were commissioned in 1999 to re-hang the bells of St Paul's Cathedral to commemorate the Queen Mother's one hundredth birthday. One of the original bell wheels has been preserved and can be seen at the rear of the tower bell chamber. The bells are rung before Sunday morning and evening services and the ringers practise each Thurday evening and welcome visitors and anyone interested in learning this facinating art.
For reasons that are now not at all obvious, the black marble font was brought here. It is a medieval treasure, worked in Tournai, in what is now Belgium, and brought here by boat perhaps 800 years ago. There are only three others, all of different designs, in Hampshire - the nearest in Winchester Cathedral - seven in the whole country. No one knows why one is here. When the north and south aisles were built, enlarging the small Norman church, why were the pillars not built opposite one another? No one knows.

I haven't been able to get to writing too much over the last week or so. From a freak snow storm, new adventures with Seven, a surprise baby, a little tequila- its been busy over here.
Tyler was out-of-town, so Seven and I were rolling solo and we made the most of it for sure. We hit up Relics and Rarities. Think lots of cool old cars combined with an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. He was more into the cars than anything else; so we skipped the ice cream this time and just ran around instead.
Next up was our trip to IKEA for his newest passion. Trains. The wood set has been the "it" toy ever since. Continuing on this theme, the next day we hit up the SE Train Museum. OMG, the kid was in heaven. It was so much fun to get to watch his 2-year-old self completely in his element and going on his first "real" train ride. I knew even more that it was a hit when Tyler came home the next night at 2am, and Seven woke up just long enough to give him the complete "choo choo" update. We weren't sure of the exact story but it definitely involved a lot of trains.
On our last solo night, the two of us went out for Thai and salty caramel ice cream. Perfect. Over the 5 days, we passed on opportunities for play dates and yes we missed dad; but it was such a little gift to have each other all to ourselves.
You know what was also nice? Was that I found myself very present in it all, not stressing out and just rolling with the extra work and lack of sleep. That wouldn't have been the case this time last year. AT ALL. It is so amazing to watch your kid grow and learn and seek out new things. It never stops for them, it's all so new. What I'm finding with Seven is how much he is actually teaching me! (I know- duh. Apparently I'm a little slow.) It doesn't have to be this constant running from one responsibility to the next. It can be snuggling up and reading books together, making banana bread with really good dark chocolate and remembering what it was like to be completely beside myself just because I was in a park.
But wait the surprise baby part. (no, not me) So….in the middle of all of this fun, I get an email from a friend about a friend who just had a surprise baby. Yes the kind of thing you see the TLC special about. But this involved two 20 year olds, possible stomach tumors and a healthy 5 pound baby boy. Anyhow, they obviously had no time to plan or buy ANYTHING so the email was about getting things donated. The next thing I know I am rounding up lots of baby items from furniture to tiny Vans. The new dad stopped by last night to pick it all up and their story was quite amazing. Whether it was 20-year-old denial or a true mystery…you know what I don't really care. The kid was excited and it felt awesome to be able to help out. So I did. Sometimes questions just don't need to be asked. (It is kind of funny that I had all this stuff on the front porch and Tyler asked what is it for and I told him the "surprise baby". He just kept on his merry way, apparently we are on the same page about unnecessary questions)
So I must say a week like this has had a bunch impact on me. In one sense, I got a little nervous because I wasn't tackling anything specific on my dream list. But on the other hand, I have to be believe that if I am playing, being present, generous where I can and feeling light….that Mondo is not very far from me.

Monday Motivation
Last week as I was searching my "word." board on Pinterest- looking for a new chalkboard quote, I had the idea to share my favorite motivation pins from Pinterest. I love getting forward emails and such that are full of inspiration, smiles, and happy thoughts. It's one of my favorite things to see in my inbox. So today I thought I'd make my own little dose of happy for you all to read! I hope that you will read something here that inspires you or motivates you for this week--to have a happy, fulfilling, focused week.

Bloggin' hard directly from the Midwest Bachasalsa Festival. I'm about to drop dead from staying up until 5am two days in a row or take a break from photo editing to do some yoga. Holy cow, my body is killin' me. I'm move around a lot when I photograph an event...which is what you should do, right? But I also crouch, jump up, climb fixtures...it's like extreme photography. I've been trying to figure out how to pick through the 1500+ photographs I have to edit and present as the final product. Tonight is the last night so there will be even more photos to go through so I'm trying to keep up, but oh, man, it's tough, for sure. Every night, I find different couples/groups of people that are getting it. I will shoot them continuously and then move on to others. I wanted to share this set of photographs from these two that gave me some really great movement shots very early on in the evening. Okay, I'm crashing from my two cups of coffee. Not a good sign...

Major League Baseball and Bank of America helped give a face lift to the new VA Honor Annex Outpatient Clinic.
The new annex, which was previously a vacant building, will specialized in women's outpatient care and treatment of veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The renovated facility will feature new children's play areas and a reflection garden. Much of the work that the over 100 volunteers did this weekend was landscaping the garden.

Efest 14500 IMR 700mAh 3.7V Rechargeable LiMn Battery- button top
Sold Individually
Dimensions: 50.4mm (L) x 14.12mm (D)
Safe chemistry LiMN means reduced risk of venting with flame or explosion. Due to the safety inherent in IMR safe chemistry batteries there is no protection circuitry added or built in. This provides a slightly shorter battery length to enable a good fit in most mods.
To ensure longevity, it is not recommended to allow the battery to discharge below 2.5V.
Please note that due to their inherent safety, IMR cells don't have a protection circuit built in. They should never be discharged below 2.5 volts or cycle life/performance will be reduced. Maximum charge voltage is 4.25 volts.

The hall was filled with Ogoni artisanal oil refiners popularly called "kpor-fire". Minister of State for Environment Alhaji Ibrahim Usman Jibrin and his team were their guests. The meeting was hosted by Project Coordinator, Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) Dr. Marvin Dekil.
At the meeting, which started by 7: 30 pm, the artisanal refiners openly informed the Federal Government that they would not leave illegal refining except they see commitment on the side of the government to empower them.
They disclosed that after some of them were delisted from pipelines surveillance by government agencies, illegal refining became the only source to earn a living, adding that it was from the illegal business that they carter for their families.
The artisanal refiners in Ogoni who were led by Mr. Elvis Ikoma and Domka Humphrey told Jibrin who represented the Federal Government on the consultative meeting that they can only leave illegal refining when federal government shows commitment on their livelihood.
Though, they also told the minister that if they were not committed to support Ogoni cleanup none of them would honour his invitation, stressing that some of them have already left the illegal refining after Dekil approached them to stop.
Humphrey said: "Sir, I will tell you our minds, if you don't empower us we will not stop illegal refining, because this is what we use to feed our family and relatives. We don't have anything doing after government takes away the pipeline surveillance from us.
"So, we need to be carried along, some of us are graduates, many people are still in the bush refining, if you empower us, we will talk to them and they will leave the bush. But where we are not seeing anything it would be very difficult for us to leave the illegal refining."
Dekil said: "As you are well aware, the United Nations Environment programme, UNEP report on Ogoni environment among other things recommended that efforts be made to draw those involved in artisanal refining away from such dangerous activities through awareness campaigns on the hazards they pose to the environment and human health.
"The report also recommends alternative employment opportunities to be put in place for youths who had hitherto preoccupied themselves with artisanal refining. In keeping with these recommendations, we had earlier on 30th May, 2017 held a meeting with your leaders. At that meeting we explained to them the mandate of, HYPREP, the determination of the Federal Government in ensuring the mandate of HYPREP is realised and the health impact of artisanal refining of your health and the environment.
"At the end of the meeting we tasked your leaders to liaise with you to identify the skills you would want HYPREP to train you in as alternative means of livelihood for you. We want to believe that assignment has been completed and the list of skills handy. In this second meeting with you, we are glad that the Honorable Minister of State for Environment, Ibrahim Jubrin Usman is present and his presence is a confirmation of the fact that the federal Government means well for you and we would not also expect less from you as regards the Ogoni cleanup project. We could not stop from appealing to you to cease from all sorts of artisanal refining both in your own interest, that of the environment and the overall economy of the nation.
"The ogoni environment is already polluted and what we need now is remediation and not re-pollution. The process of remediation is rigorous and time consuming and in the Ogoni case, it will take some years to restore the environment. The implication of that is that a re-pollution is a further elongation of the time. We must therefore not sacrifice our present and the future of the next generation on the altar of instant gratification.
Jibrin said he was happy that ex-artisanal refiners opened up their minds, adding that illegal refining is not only dangerous to the environment but to those who are engaging in it."
The minister promised that the Federal Government in partnership with the Ministry of Petroleum and the office of the HYPREP Coordinator will ensure that they are trained with the aim to secure their livelihood
Jibrin said: "I have heard all of you, I'm assuring you that the issue will get to the Acting President, but remember that you have fishes of all kinds, animals, we cannot get them if you contaminate the water with hydrocarbon pollution. We need the mangrove, because we use it for firewood, but it is in our own interest to keep our environment clean, it is in our own interest to ensure that in whatever we must do we have to take care of our environment.
"That is why the federal government has taken the issue of Modular refinery serious, it is community base, and it is authority. It is going to be regulated. There is need for us to organise ourselves into responsible cooperatives. Whether they are community or local government base but there is need to have something that would regulate us. And with your support I am assuring you that the Federal government is determine through HYPREP to support your training and empowerment. But you must be at the front to drive the process.
"We are out to make a difference, the life we live is for the living, and we can only live a good life if we are healthy, if we have something doing that can touch our lives. We cannot do anything outside our environment, we want Ogoni to be cleaned, this is our intention and this is what we are going to do. Government cannot create job for everybody but can create a conducive environment for people to earn a living.
"The acting President had showed his commitment when he hosted the leadership of PANDAF headed by Chief Edwin Clark, all their demand were listed, you are aware that the Acting President had visited the Niger Delta. Many people talk about economy but I talk about environment because it is the responsibility of my office and my team to ensure that we have conducive, friendly and livable environment. But we cannot do that if we are doing certain practices that may not be healthy on the environment.
"We will not be tired of talking with you, you will be the one to carry out the gospel, I saw spills and I have repeated this that I use to see fish fried with red and vegetable oil but I saw fish in Ogoni fried with crude oil. When you see this kind of thing, no matter how inhuman you are, it must touch your mind, the first thing I remember was our woman, daughters who have certain responsibilities going to the farm fetching water and firewood on the contaminated environment but how long are we going to continue with this."

Storytelling for Intercultural Reflection
A Workshop for Self-Exploration
Telling stories about our own lives is an ancient way to convey values, share history, and explore meaning. Ask people to tell a story about something important that happened to them, and you set them aloft into an exploration of things they didn't know they knew. We will explore a number of ways to use storytelling in training to help people reflect on their cultural values and intercultural experience. The primary focus will be on telling one's own experience, but we will also explore the telling of metaphorical stories to convey meaning. You will leave the workshop with the beginnings of your own intercultural autobiography and the tools to help others explore theirs.
Designed for:
Intercultural trainers, coaches, therapists, writers, educators, and anyone involved in exploring intercultural journeys.
Facilitated by:
Dr. Anne Copeland, Executive Director of The Interchange Institute, clinical psychologist, and intercultural writer
Participants will have the opportunity to:

Charleston County Administrator Kurt Taylor headed up a group of County officials at a meeting called by Charleston Councilwoman Anna Johnson
County Combats Confusion
Rep. Johnson, County Staffers reach out to unincorporated James Island
By Charlie Morrison
Community Editor
It doesn't take a cartographer to tell that, geographically speaking, the fourth incorporated Town of James Island is but a shadow of its former self.
The Town won the seemingly incessant court battle regarding the legality of its establishment, but the victory ultimately came at a cost — much of the Town's footprint. What was lost in the creation of the now permanent Town of James Island was a collection of neighborhoods many consider to be integral to the very fabric of the island — the neighborhoods of Sol Legare, Grimball Road, and Riverland Terrace. The areas were relegated to the status of unincorporated Charleston County with the creation of the new Town, creating much in the way of confusion.
Through an effort spearheaded by Charleston County Councilwoman Anna Johnson last week, the County reached out to the unincorporated communities. And as evidenced by the cavalcade of County representatives on hand last Monday at the Elijah Masonic Lodge on Folly Road, all hands are on deck with regards to the County filling the void of providing services lost with the dissolution of the third incorporated Town of James Island.
The agenda of the meeting was simple. Councilwoman Johnson and County Administrator Kurt Taylor wanted re-introduce to the many citizens of unincorporated Charleston County the various County departments that affect them, namely building inspection services, community services, public works, and zoning and planning.
The County now serves the majority of the island, not only the newly-unincorporated areas left by the void by the significantly reduced footprint of the Town of James Island, but the very Town itself. Last month the County and Town entered into a contract in which the County will provide a number of Town services on a case-by-case basis. The growing role of the County on the island prompted Charleston County District 8 Representative Johnson to call last Monday's meeting.
Spirited, occasionally tense, but always with an undercurrent of good humor, the meeting was typically James Island. Councilwoman Johnson, the de-facto host of the discussion, made the County's agenda intentions clear right off the bat. "Charleston County will be your first line of government," said Johnson in setting the table for the meeting. "We want you to feel like the County is here to serve you."
In furthering that agenda, Johnson and County Administrator Kurt Taylor proceeded to introduce a series of representatives from the various departments that now serve a significant portion of James Island. Before introducing his staff, however, Taylor addressed the packed house at the Lodge. "Let me echo some of what Ms. Johnson said, we know as Charleston County government employees that we don't exist except for to help the citizens of Charleston County," said Taylor. "If there weren't citizens or the need for a government we wouldn't have our jobs, and we wouldn't be able to do what we love to do. We're happy to come out any time to speak to neighborhood groups on anything the County does … we've got a lot of thing we do that touch your lives."
Representatives from 10 County departments presented themselves to the attendees of the meeting, each providing a rundown of what their respective department does and answering questions from the audience. Representatives from the County's Building Inspection Services, Community Services, Consolidated Dispatch Center, Environmental Management, Planning, and Public Works departments were amongst the seeming army of County staffers on hand for the meeting to highlight County services.
The issue of the evening was confusion, as evidenced by the peppering of questions County officials received, not to mention the murmurings heard in the audience at every revelatory statement made by County staffers. Administrator Taylor did his best to assuage the collective confusion felt by most by addressing a hot button issue on James Island, that of annexation.
"We wish the legislature would make it easier to annex property because these issue about whose town am I in or am in in the County or not in the County … are all covered because you'd be in that same area, and there wouldn't be that confusion anymore," said Taylor.

Re: Harriet Abbey born 1848
In reply to:
Harriet Abbey born 1848
Wow.Good luck with this!Here's what I've found on her.
Biographical Review of Leading Citizens of Cayuga County, New York 1894, pg 387, has a whole page on Maria Crouse Abby Clark.http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nycayuga/biographical_review/cr.htmlhttp://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nycayuga/biographical_review/cr.html
Apparently, she was married to Casper Abby, and had Harriet (known in our family as Hattie) on 11 Apr 1858, not 1848, possibly in Canada.Casper died in Fulton, Canada.
It also has plenty of information on Maria, but I still haven't been able to get past her, really.I do have a note from the article that her great-grandfather "Owned land 12 miles square at Poughkeepsie, NY; but at the time of the Revolution they lost it all." This was from the article.

Oceanside Protection - Thanks to PENETRON
Completed just in time for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games that concluded last week, the Hotel Grand Hyatt features a stunning location and waterproof basement structures treated with PENETRON technology.
The Hotel Grand Hyatt is located in Barra da Tijuca, or "Barra," one of the most exclusive districts in Rio. It is also close to the most renowned districts of Rio de Janeiro: Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon, and it is only a 50 minute drive by car from Rio's Galeão International Airport. This luxury beachside hotel has 436 rooms, including 40 suites and three large penthouse suites, a spa and gym in the basement, and a pool. The total construction area of this LEED-certified project was 84,200 m² (906,322 square feet).
Built adjacent to both a lagoon and beach, the structure is subjected to a very high water table. One of the design features was a very large underground structure sitting below the water table. PENETRON Brazil, working with the contractor, provided an optimal solution to treat all the concrete joints and the basement slab. PENEBAR SW-55 expandable waterstop was used to permanently seal the new construction joints, while PENETRON ADMIX was used to treat the concrete in the slab.

Remy Ma Fans Troll Nicki Minaj After 'ShETHER' Singer Beats Her Out For BET Award
Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma went head-to-head for Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the 2017 BET Awards on June 25, and when Remy won, her fans went WILD! See the savage tweets and memes they've made about Nicki.
Nicki Minaj, 34, has won Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards for 7 years straight. So of course, fans were expecting her to easily crush Remy Ma, 37, at the 2017 show on June 25. However, it didn't go as planned. Remy got the award, and even shaded Nicki on stage! Fans were so thrilled by the upset that they took to Twitter to troll Nicki with some pretty viscous tweets and memes! See pics from the BETs.
"Y'all kids needs 2 do your research on Remy Ma! There are female rappers out here been doing it before Nicki. That's the problem… NO RESPECT," said one happy fan, excited to see Remy take home the award. "One minute it was Nicki Minaj is getting the award with no question. Now since Remy Ma won it's just a BET award. Haha y'all mad!" said another. But the simplest reaction? "The streak is over! Remy Ma wins!!!"
Of course, there were definitely Nicki fans coming to her defense. "Nicki broke ARETHA FRANKLIN'S record, and still didn't get the award. Remy Ma did what? Tear a woman down for 7 minutes? Dumb asf," said a fan that was bothered by Remy's slut-shaming speech. "Remy Ma won? But her album flopped," said another. Ouch!
Here are some of the hilarious memes about the show:

When half empty is half empty
Glass half full or glass half empty is dependent on your perspective. So when the bankers shot off another volley of apologies while foreclosures and unemployment continue to wreak havoc the half empty looks, well, half empty. New York Times columnist Frank Rich explained it well when he quoted Alan Greenspan – "I was right 70 percent of the time, but I was wrong 30 percent of the time" – adding, "If the captain of the Titanic followed the Greenspan model, he could claim he was on course at least 70 percent of the time too."
The bankers reaction reminds one of a guy who rapes his daughter every day of the week, goes for therapy, and comes back claiming he is much better now because he stopped raping her on Mondays.
The other glass that is half empty, with grubby finger marks all over it, is the almost unbelievable (pardon the pun) reaction of the Catholic Church about their pedophile priests. For an institution that has made a lucrative living (another pun?) out of constantly reminding people of their sins one would think the church leaders would be down on offenders (oh no, another pun!) like a hammer. Instead, the church leaders seem to be taking the day off on Mondays only too, perhaps in an attempt to remind the flock that the glass is not quite empty yet. Who knows what that chalice contains? In the meantime, and this is no pun, the priests remain the butt of the joke.

Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day is something I really struggle with. I always joke that I'm living life dehydrated, but it's true, and probably not that funny. Because not consuming enough water can lead to health issues down the road and current health issues such as headaches - something I experience almost daily. So with that said, I'm working harder to drink more and I thought I'd share some of my tips with you!
Start and finish your day right
Try to drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up, and you go to bed drink another glass.
Before every meal
Consuming a full glass before every meal can really curb calorie intake because it causes you to feel more full.
After every bathroom break
Once you start drinking more and more water, you'll notice yourself taking more bathroom breaks. Drink a glass after every single break.
Eat water-rich foods
One sneaky way to increase your daily water consumption is to consume food with high water content. Most fruits and vegetables such a cucumber, watermelon, grapefruit, and zucchini are great examples of this.
Opt for water at restaurants
Pass up the soda and alcohol for water instead. You'll stay more hydrated, plus it's healthier and free!
Keep a water bottle filled
I've noticed when I keep a water bottle in the fridge, I'm more likely to drink more because it's cold and refreshing.
